Policy Advocacy & Government Relations
Government policy doesn’t just respond to business conditions — it shapes them. The organizations that fare best are those that engage early, build the right relationships, and bring a credible case to the right audience at the right moment.
At Maurice+Fischer, that is the work we have done. We have passed state legislation, built coalitions that sustained multi-year policy agendas, secured philanthropic investment to advance workforce and clean energy priorities, and earned the trust of legislators, senior policymakers, and institutional funders across Illinois and beyond. We don’t offer access as a product — we bring the analytical depth, relational credibility, and strategic discipline to make advocacy campaigns actually work.
We help clients:
- Develop and execute state and local legislative strategy
- Build and manage coalitions across advocacy, nonprofit, corporate, and philanthropic sectors
- Monitor, analyze, and respond to legislative and regulatory activity
- Engage senior policymakers, agency officials, and institutional stakeholders with precision
- Craft the policy record — briefs, memos, testimony, and action materials — that makes the case compelling and durable
- Identify and secure philanthropic and institutional funding aligned with policy goals
Our work has advanced policy in workforce equity, economic mobility, and the clean energy economy. We understand these issue areas deeply — not as outside observers, but as practitioners who have moved legislation and built the coalitions that made it possible.
If your organization needs to shape what happens next, we know how to get you there.
